00:00Hello, I'm Joseph Mirovich and I'm standing outside the Panland Beskot Stadium here in

00:06Walsall. Later today I'm going to be at Wembley watching the Sky Bet League 2

00:11playoff final between AFC Wimbledon and Walsall. Needless to say this is a huge

00:17game for both clubs today. AFC Wimbledon were relegated from League 1 back in

00:212022. They've actually won at Wembley before they won the 2016 final. Walsall

00:26only ever been to Wembley once. They lost in the EFL trophy final to Bristol City

00:32in 2015 and at one point this season they were 12 points clear at the top of

00:37League 2. But a loss of form and a raising form from the likes of Bristol City and

00:42Port Vale and Doncaster meant that Walsall finished fourth in the end. They beat

00:46Chesterfield in the playoffs and they head towards Wembley today. I'm here today to

00:50cover all of the action that's going on. See how the fans are getting on, look at

00:53the coach journey and obviously the walk down Wembley way and the scene inside

00:57Wembley Stadium. It's going to be a very interesting day all round.

01:02So how are you guys feeling about today? Right, yeah, Sadler's win. What, 2-1 win?

01:20Yeah, 2-1 win. And did you go to Wembley ten years ago? I'm guessing you two didn't but...

02:42and time to park up, but behind me is Wembley Stadium.
